Last night Shah and I went to a bar. It was loud, so we left, went to a smaller bar, where little kids knocked on the window, begging for money. As we tried to leave, they crowded us, so we jumped back in the bar. Shah had a great idea.Â I went to the window to divert their attention, and Shah ran out. As they followed him, I ran out. As we ran, Shah dropped his expensive gerber multi-tool. A little kid grabbed it and brought it to him. I wanted to reward her, since she certainly could have snatched it and run off (Shah didn’t even notice he’d dropped it.) So I try to give the girl 5 quai, less than a dollar ( I wanted to give her more but as soon as the mob of beggars heard change…..) The group attacked me, literally grabbing me, pulling me. It was so disgusting and insane. I was about to punch 2 old women and several young children. They were like wild animals. The girl was able to get 1 quai from me beforeÂ I ran inside to escape the assault…

We are having great fun in Shanghai and tons of pics for later. Soon Yellow Mountain.
